attempt along this line in 1899 when it for mulated a plan at the first hague confernce for a permanent court but this plan failed because of the lack of interest of the other nations and in its place a court of arbitration was established however in 1907 we again made an attempt to establish a world court at the second hague con ference this time the nations agreed to the plan establishing a world court but bickered as to the selection of its judges and as a result no com promise was made however in art xiv of the coven ant of the league of nations after realizing the muddle through which the world had been forced to waddle for eight years a provison was made for the establishment of a permanent court of justice the council of the league appointed an advisory com mittee to draft up such a plan amend 1 ed this plan and on december 13 1920 both the council and assembly of the league approved of the draft it was ratified by the nations by september 14 1921 and so the permanent court came to ge a real thing mr stoner then spoke on three questions that interested the united states in regard to the world court namely the election of the judges the laws by which it functioned and what cases came under its jurisdiction bill cook the new president an nounced that the club would have the opportunity of hearing dr thurber bishop brent and capt mellen in the near future next week dr
